Ready to relax and unwind in your Oak Point haven?

The heavily wooded lot at 700 Eagles Landing Blvd. offers plenty of privacy.

From this aerial perspective you can see the two large bay windows that over look the backyard and the large semi-hexagonal screened porch to the far right.

The home has a gracious, wrap-around front porch that makes you feel instantly welcome.

“One of the people that came to the open house over the weekend said, ‘Oh my, this home looks like it sits on a park with the manicured walking paths,’ ” said Ericsson, who is listing this 2006-built beauty at 700 Eagles Landing Blvd. for $995,000. “They provide access to the entire back of the properly through the trees. It really is quite an escape from the hustle and bustle.”

Manicured walking paths run throughout the heavily wooded, private property at 700 Eagles Landing Blvd. in Oak Point.

Of course, while I’m in love with the grounds and gracious wrap-around front porch on this house, there’s so much to love inside! You get plenty of space inside, too, with 6,322 square feet, five bedrooms, four full and one half baths, three living areas, and a three-car garage. The home is only 12 years old, so everything is in excellent shape, especially the gorgeous floors and millwork.

The dramatic and bright two-story entryway leads to the formal dining room to the right and ahead to the living area.

The large bay of picture windows in the breakfast nook offers unobstructed views of the serene grounds.

What I love about this home is that every room feels very connected without losing that separation of purpose. You also don’t lose any privacy by having a large, gaping great room that connects directly to bedrooms. The master suite is downstairs, but still feels secluded and far enough from the action that you won’t feel eyes on you all the time.

“The very well thought out floor plan provides three living areas with the bedrooms positioned in a manner that provides plenty of privacy,” Ericsson said.

The master suite has even more large picture windows from which you can admire your peaceful surroundings.

You have to love the master suite, too, which doesn’t skimp on style. The two separate vanities are opulent feeling, furniture-quality affairs, topped with marble. Travertine floors, a separate shower, and huge soaking tub round out the over-sized bathroom.

The second-story landing has tons of built-in shelves and the same beautiful hardwoods as on the first floor.

The upstairs game room is a great place for kids and their friends.

The mud room features a dog shower station and a pet enclosure.

The large screened-in porch is perfect for whiling away a beautiful afternoon without the worry of mosquitoes.

When we say it’s private and secluded, you might be thinking that you’ll be far from everything. Ericsson assured me that’s not the case.

“In the not too distant past, Oak Point was considered in the middle of nowhere,” she said. “With the development of 380 corridor and the ‘Five Billion Dollar Mile,’ there is plenty of shopping and easy access to major highways.”

With a house this pretty and such gorgeous grounds, we only have one question: Where do we sign?
